Arizona CCW and Schools

Individuals with a concealed-weapons permit would be allowed to bring their guns onto school grounds under a measure introduced Friday at the Arizona Legislature.

The proposal, Senate Bill 1214, would exempt concealed-carry permit holders from a state law that bars individuals from knowingly carrying deadly weapons onto school property. If it becomes law, the measure would allow teachers and anyone else with a valid permit to carry their weapon onto the grounds of any public or private K-12 school, college or university in the state.

Supporters say the measure would provide an additional ring of security on campuses hit with a string of shootings in recent years. The most recent of which was last year's at Virginia Tech, which left 33 dead. The shootings have come in spite of heightened campus security and policies that are increasingly aimed at scrubbing any and all weapons from school grounds.

I can just hear the anti's. "If the law passes the school yards will be flowing with blood. There will be daily shoot outs. It will be the OK Corral all over again!!" All the sick lame excuses they use to fight against conceal carry laws, the ones that never happened.
I wish you luck.

i also wish ya luck, but you know the anti's,if they didnt have guns
to cry about, it would be knifes,pencils,cold cup of coffee.
if their not crying about something, they not happy.

Did you guys read some of the anti's responses at the bottom of the article?
Some would rather wait till the cops get there. Fine, if you're kids still alive.
Another one mentioned they're worried about some teacher being a "bad shot" during a crisis. Not worried about the BG being a "good shot."

"He went on two legs, wore clothes and was a human being, but nevertheless he was in reality a wolf of the Steppes. He had learned a good deal . . . and was a fairly clever fellow. What he had not learned, however, was this: to find contentment in himself and his own life. The cause of this apparently was that at the bottom of his heart he knew all the time (or thought he knew) that he was in reality not a man, but a wolf of the Steppes."

Just cite the New Life Church shooting in Colorado. Jean Assam neutralized the threat with no injury to bystanders. Besides, most people duck and cover, leaving the BG an easy target.

Man I've been hoping for something like this for YEARS now. My Lord, we'd be one heavily armed campus. I love it. haha But my main concern is that this will only apply to state schools. I'm curious if the law would be all-encompassing for private institutions as well.

That is, if Napoliatano will even look at it before she hits it with her Veto stamp.

Are private institutions bound by the state laws that govern public institutions? I thought private grade schools at least were considered separate i.e. teachers do not have to be NEA members.
For you AZ guys, is there enough support to override a veto?

Wow. Politicians using logic!! What really surprises me is that these are Phoenix reps sponsoring this bill. I know the state in general seems to be rather conservative but I figured the Phoenix Republicans to be like the Northeast Republicans. If they're all for this I can only imagine what the rest of the state can do.

You missed the fact that some kid would probably steal your gun and shoot up the school...
